Police say the victims were forced to the floor while the men robbed the restaurant in the 7400 block of Garners Ferry Road near Atlas Road.

Investigators are working to determine if this robbery is connected to a similar armed robbery at a Waffle House on Bluff Road Monday morning.

In that robbery, Sheriffs deputies said two men brandished guns inside the restaurant just after 2 a.m. and left with cash.
